Mr William Watcihouse was a mem

accompanied only by the guide On
the first occasion the sight was some
what disappointing to him as his ex
pectations had been worked up to a
pretty high pitch by the rcporti from
previous visitors From the outVard
manifestations however he had no
doubt there was an immense amount of
molten lava beneath Halemaumau
The liquid lava is visible about 300
feet below the brink of the awful
chasm Mr Waterhouse believes the
lava is continually rising and says it
occasionally spouts up in jets One
time while he was watching it spuitcd
up about fifteen feet and then spread
out eighty feet Various active cones
were seen occasionally breaking out It
was raining nearly all the day that they
were there The party had a very
pleasant trip receiving the best of
treatment from the Wilder Steamship

Yesterday afternoon a telephone
message was received at the office of
the Inter IMand Steam Navigation
Company from Captain Weir of the
steamer James Makce at Waianae
stating that he was bringing to Hono
lulu a boatload of shipwrecked sailors
picked up on the Island of Kauai
The message said they were seven of
the crew of a large Untish ship that
had been wrecked on Ocean Island
about 1200 miles from this group and
was by mistake thought to say that
the men had been in an open boat
for twenty two days It afterword
was found that the shipwrecked
mariners had been fifty two long
days and nights out on the ocean
When the news went round town old
residents brought to remembrance the
fact that Ocean Island was where the
United States man-of-war Saginaw was
totally wrecked sixteen years ago A
boat from the ill fated vessel reached
Waimea Kauai on October 20th 1870
and in attempting to land in the break
ers thiee of the four men perished
after having weathered three enles and
come over 1 100 miles in thirty days
The old steamer Kilauea on that oc
casion was sent to Ocean Island on an
expedition of search for the possible
survivors
The arrival of the James Makce was
eagerly awaited about 10 oclock last
night by reporters and others and she
entered the Wilder Steamship Com
panys docks a few minutes before that
hour the Inter Island wharf being
occupied by other vessels Mr Swanzy
officiating in the absence of Mr T
Rain Walker as Acting British Vice
Consul was waiting to receive the dis
tressed -seamen and Major J II
Wodehousc British Commissioner and
Consul General was also on hand
before the steamer had been moored
many minutes Arrangements had been
made for the accommodation of the
shipwrecked party at the Sailors
Home and without much delay they
were taken thcic The first mate of
the wrecked vessel who was one of the
number was however first taken to
the British Consulate Kaahumanu
street wheie Major Wodchouse Mr
Swanzy and Captain Mist R N held
an enquiry into the disaster with a
view to taking prompt measures of
relief for the other survivors enumer
ated further on who were left on
Ocean Island Our reporter gathered
from the mate and crew the particu
lars of the wreck and their escape
which appear below
The wrecked vesiel is the Dunnotter
Castle 1702 tons owned by Skinner
Co of London and Glasgow She
left Sydney New South Wales on the
7th of June last loaded with coal for
Wilmington San Pedro Hay California
and San Francisco On the 15th of
July near midnight she ran ashore on
Ocean Island or as some charts have
it Cure Island situated approximately
in 2S deg 23 minN latitude and
1 70 deg 25 mm V longitude The
reason assigned for the vessel being so
much out of her course is that the
chronometers were wrong From the
Thursday on which the ship struck till
the following Monday the officers and
crew worked unceasingly to jettison the
cargo and get the vessel afloat trying
canvas kedge anchors and all the
means known in such cases All their
efforts wereunavailing for the Dunnotter
Castle was fast in a narrow creek be
tween two reefs running on both sides
from the north and the south ends of
the island the jagged coral rock havinc
broken into the hull through tlie bot
tom Un the Monday the ship was
abandoned there being ten feet of
water m the hold The following day
the first mate went on board and
sounding found twenty two feet of
water i he fresh water tanks were
floating about and salt water got into
some of them
Upon lauding from the wreck the
company found another wreck on the
island and the frame of a tent stand
ing Over the latter they threw can
vas beneath which they camped foi
the night There was nothing but
brackish water on the island with no
signs of rain and only a portion of the
ships supply of fresh water was saved
On the morning of the 24th of July the
party now safe in Honolulu left the
island in a lifeboat They took twenty
eight days provisions aud water with
them leaving six or seven weeks pro
visions and 280 gallons of water for
twenty two souls left behind From
the 23rd of August the seven men in
the boat had only 1 biscuit and a pint
of water each daily which starvation
allowance had to be reduced one half
from the 1st of September Occasion
ally they shared in a half pound can of
soup The last meat they had was two
boobies n species of seagull caught off
liird Island
On the 31st of August last Tuesday
week the boats crew sighted Necker
Island but although they were anxi
ous to land in search of water they
could not get nearer to it than four
miles owing to the heavy surf and
high sea Uird Island was sighted on
Sunday the 5th inst and the crew
pulled round it on the following Tuec
day searching in vain for any signs of
fresh wnt r They w re within half a
mile of that island
Sunday morning last the 12th inst
the aim st exhausted and nearly starved
mariners weie in sight of tho Island of
Kauai and about noon were off the
little hamlet of Kalihiwai ThfcisUrf
was too strong fortho worn out sailors
lo attempt a lauding unaided but the
brive ud chivalrous natives went out
in thtfir canoes rmd took the crew arid
their boat safe ashore Mr Normlin
the first mate then engaged a whale
boat to take hint to Hanalei a distance
of eighteen miles to look fora constllar
agent There it was that he met the
steamer James Makce which went to
Kalihiwai and took off the sailors

The party left on Ocean Island con
sisted of Captain H A Martin the
second and third males fifteen able
bodied seamen and four boys - Major
Wodchouse will probably at onee send
a steamer to their rescue on behalf of
the British Government
Mr Norman and his six companions
in the terrible voyage of 1200 miles in
an open boat desire to convey through
the papers their heartfelt gratitude to
Captain Weir and the officers of the
James Makce for the great kindness
they showed them during the passage
from Kauai The men all exhibit
marked evidence of their prolonged
exposure and privations but seemed to
visiby gain in spirits every minute after
obtaining the friendly shelter of the
Sailors Home
